Well, the Savage Anschutz Mark10D I used for standard is gone.....
I picked up a 64MSR for $700 with 3 magazines, rings and a Bushnell Banner 4-12AO, I thought it was a good deal.
I didn't get to take her to the range and zero/ammo test on paper, I just put me T24 and BKLs on, boresighted her in the street and took her to the match last Saturday.
I grabbed a quick zero at each animal with Wolf MT by kneeling and resting the rifle on the stand before the match.
Well I'll be, I shot a 25/60 (matching this no-practice newbie's personal best) first time I shot her. I would have probably done much better, but I started on turkeys and got 10 of them, which swelled my head too much to get a good cheekweld the rest of the match!
I know this won't impress too many old hands, but I'm stoked, and will keep playing this game for a while!!

Clips alone now are $50 each for Anschutz clips. FYI if you want more clips you can also use Savage clips from Brownells, with some minor filing on the rear, for $10.50 each and they work just like the factory ones.
